5CGXBC7C7U19C8N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC7C7U19C8N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC. It features 240 I/Os and is housed in a 484-UBGA (19x19) package. The device contains 56,480 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), equivalent to 149,500 logic elements, and provides 7,880,704 total RAM bits. It operates at a supply voltage of 1.07V to 1.13V and supports a maximum data rate of 3.125 Gb/s with six transceivers. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (TJ).

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-density programmable logic fabric with significant embedded memory capacity for complex system implementations.
• Includes high-speed serial transceivers supporting data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s for advanced communication interfaces.
• Designed for automotive applications with AEC-Q100 qualification and extended industrial temperature range capability.

Applications

• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster systems requiring robust FPGA processing.
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing high-speed serial communications.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing reliable signal processing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with required design tools such as Quartus Prime. Check for any relevant Product Change Notices or errata documents that may impact implementation. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and automotive-grade reliability are required within the Cyclone V GX family. Compare against other U19 package variants based on specific I/O count and memory needs. Consider the 3.125 Gb/s transceiver speed for interface requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system thermal constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, which targets cost-sensitive and power-efficient applications. The 'BC' designation typically indicates a specific density tier within the family. The U19 suffix denotes the 484-ball UBGA package type. This series bridges performance gaps between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5CGXBC7 variants with different suffixes for temperature or package variations, such as 5CGXBC7C6U19C8N. Cross-family replacements require careful evaluation of pinout compatibility and resource availability.
